Posted: 9/25/05 at 1:19pmThe three shows that I've gone back to see a number of times were "The Wiz", "A Chorus Line" and "Ain't Misbehavin'". When I was in school, back in the late 70s, I had classmates who worked at Broadway theatres so we half-timed a number of shows and I got to sneak into some for free (we were all struggling students then).

Posted: 9/25/05 at 2:13pmI saw Light in the Piazza 3 times in about a week. I would have seen it more and more and more, but alas the box office wouldn't take pieces of string as payment...

RENT, seven times in various venues. Twice on Broadway.
CATS, eight times in various venues (I know, I know). Thrice in the West End.
Chitty, three times on Broadway.
LSOH revival, twice on Broadway.
Wicked once was enough for me...
And I support smaller theatres and experimental theatre all the time, so I don't feel sad or pathetic.

hmmm... maybe I'm a little off, but a gazillion (and we know we're not speaking literally) has got to be more than 2, 3 or 5 times, right? Otherwise, I'd have to say I see most things a gazillion times, because half the shows I've seen, I've seen more than once. Anyway, enough nit-picking... my total addictions were Jekyll & Hyde, Aida and Bombay Dreams.

And then I saw Beauty and the Beast once on Bway, but I ran the spotlight for one of the first regional productions and have seen it a total of 14 times! LOL!)

RENT over and over.
I've seen it more than this, but I saw Wicked twice in a day once (January 8th, to be exact. Oops.)
And I've only seen Chitty twice but I'd love to see it many, many more!
